Aquarium

Today was the first day of spring break and to celebrate Monty took the day off and we went to the Long Beach Aquarium. The day couldn't have been more fun. Our boys love the aquarium and get so excited seeing all that is offered. They soak it up I guess you could say!One of our favorite locations is the touch pool! Kyle never hesitates to swim with the sharks and sting rays in the touch pool!Notice his sleeves!! Yeah...it got worse!! He was in heaven! I thought his shirt was appropriate today..."I do all my own stunts!" Trey wasn't so excited about touching the rays. The sheer thought of it sent him to his 'happy place'. We know when Trey is uncomfortable his puts his right thumb in his mouth and his left hand on his belly button. Why? We have no idea, but it's so cute.Monty thought it would be fun for the boys to get to know the birds on a more personal level, so he got them each some nectar. Tyler and Kyle loved it!!
Kory started off excited, but ended up not so excited. It was so sad. He held out his cup, but when the bird landed on him it was a little more than he could handle and he spilled all his nectar. Poor guy. I didn't know how I was going to get him over it, but then this happened.Yeah...saved by the bird!! When this bird landed on Kyle's head we all had a great laugh!!Monty being one with nature! One of my favorite parts in the Aquarium is this tunnel full of tropical fish. I wanted to get this photo with Trey so I called his name. He turned around and said, "Cheese!"
OH, and if any of you are wondering...Kory did survive! He ended the day enjoying a turtle. I love family days! Thanks to ALL my boys for being so fun!

Look, there you go again doing all these fun family things! I finally told my girls last Saturday that we are just going to start planning things to do together, and if Brandon wants to stay home alone he can. I hope you know how lucky you are!

Awww... you guys looked like you had so much fun. I laughed when I saw the flicc of Trey in his happy place. Your boys are sooo fun. With Monty in school and the boys making honor roll and you fulfilling your Cinderella duties...lol... you all needed a break... Glad you had fun.

P.S. My word verification was finally a word this time... it was "grades." Now how appropriate was that :^)

I am so glad you guys got to spend the day together as a family!

That's so fun that a bird landed on Tyler! (I would have freaked OUT if a bird landed on me though!)

Okay...I have to tell you...Trey sucking is thumb and playing with his belly button is SO Kaitlyn! It was adorable when she was Trey's age...and we loved it because it soothed her when she was cranky or scared...but I'll tell you what! It ain't so cute now that she's 6!

Great pictures. The boys are a lot more brave than me. I freaked out when the birds started flying on me to get the nector. I would have gone crazy if one landed on my head.
